Paick Noble mobile power bank caters for all of your portable power needs

paick-nobleEver hit the road and realized that your smartphone or tablet does not have enough energy left in its battery reserves in order to last the distance? That can be quite a bummer, especially when you need to get that all important email sent out on your smartphone, or to be able to pull a particular document from your cloud storage service over the tablet. Of course, it has become second nature to many of us to charge our power hungry devices each evening before we retire for the night, but there are some of the more hectic times in our lives when we forget to do so, only to have that tinge of regret in the morning when we wake up. Paick intends to do away with that by introducing the Noble at CES next year, where this extremely slim mobile power pack for your portable devices measures just 0.5” thin, whick packing in a whopping 6,000mAh of juice.

Being so thin and yet not larger than your average wallet, it is the ideal tool for business professionals to tote around in their back pocket or bag. Sporting an intelligent pop up, dust-proof dual USB and a single microUSB slot that caters for a range of smartphones, you will not be able to find any other kind of portable power packs at such a slim form factor. Not only that, the asking price of $49.99 a pop is definitely within the financial comfort zone for many.

The battery used in the Noble would be a Li-polymer battery, which is touted to be more stable as well as safer compared to Li-ion batteries. The Noble will play nice with the likes of the iPhone 5, 5C, 5S, Samsung Galaxy, HTC, Android phones, tablets and majority of USB devices out there, holding enough juice to fully charge your iPhone up to three times, a Galaxy phone twice, or an iPad once.

Barnes and Noble axes Nook PC, Mac apps, directs you to Nook for Web instead

Barnes and Noble has been quietly erasing all mentions of its Nook for PC and Mac, but now we have the first official confirmation that both are no more. An official statement, reported by The Digital Reader, says that the company is no longer supporting software for Windows 2000/XP/Vista or Mac OS X, and is directing users to switch to Nook for Web in its place. That, or you could always help prop up the company’s brick-and-mortar operations by purchasing some of these.

TechCrunch: Microsoft offering $1 billion to buy Nook Media

Microsoft said to be pondering $1 billion Nook Media purchase

Microsoft has put forward an offer to buy complete control of Nook Media LLC, according to internal documents seen by TechCrunch. Redmond’s joint venture with Barnes & Noble was set up last year to handle the Nook e-reader, tablet and college bookstore business. If the documents are accurate, Microsoft will dump the academic retail chain while retaining the digital arm of the partnership for $1 billion. The evidence also suggests that Nook Media will axe its Android tablets by the end of the 2014 financial year, concentrating instead on pushing the Nook store onto third-party devices including Windows 8 and/or Surface hardware. Simple Touch owners shouldn’t be too worried, however, as the leaked documents state that Nook Media’s e-reader division won’t be killed off, as the technology is facing its own “natural decline.” We’ve reached out to Barnes & Noble for something more official, and we’re waiting to hear back.
